How to configure Aruba Instant for Internet Failover? 

Jul 02, 2014 06:15 PM

Internet-Failover is a newly added feature in InstantOS 3.2. When enabled, it can trigger to change the uplink if Internet is unreachable.

 

As of InstantOS 3.2, four types of uplink configuration is available

Ethernert
Wi-Fi
3G/4G
PPPoE

 

 

 

IAP sends out a ICMP request every 30 seconds, and if there are 10 replies lost in total, under current uplink, then IAP will disable current uplink then switch to next uplink.
 
Product and Software: This article applies to Aruba Instant Access Points (IAP's) running Aruba InstantOS 6.2.0.0-3.2.0.0

NOTE:

  • Interval between consecutive ICMP request is controlled by the option "Failover detection frequency". The Default value is 30 seconds

  • Number of packets lost before the uplink is considered as down is controlled by the option "Failover detection count". The default value is 10.
